Drabble - Countdown - and FF rules update progress

Here's the main product so far of watching Wonderfalls, which I'm enjoying more than I first thought I would. Warning - this is a lot darker than most of my Drabbles

Countdown

By Marcus L. Rowland

It's five years since the wax lion talked to Jaye.

Four years ago she accepted her destiny, the power of the seer.

About three years ago Eric was killed, trying to rescue a drowning kid. The animals told her about the kid, didn't warn her about Eric.

Two years, and the animals started telling Jaye about vampires and demons. She thought she was losing it completely. Then Mahandra got freaky strong and that Andrew dweeb showed up to tell her why.

A year since her first apocalypse.

A month since her fifth.

Tomorrow the world ends. She'll enjoy the silence.



Comments please before I post to archives.

In other news the FF rules revision is coming on reasonably well - I'm about two thirds through adding the Melodrama section, next is Magic, then the gadgets etc. and illustrations.

Ouch! And very nicely done.

Wonderfalls grows on you, doesn't it?

Like some squamous ichorous fungoid... Sorry, channelling a little too much Lovecraft there.

Yes, I seem to be enjoying it more as I work my way through the series.

Very nice indeed. So nice, in fact, that I've ordered Wonderfalls for myself.

I think that the thing that bugs me most about Wonderfalls, so far, is that the situation has the potential to get VERY dark indeed, but it never quite goes there. I think if it'd actually been done in the Buffyverse it might have gone more like this.
